Agenda, if you will? frankly thats why a lot of people voted for him. can he do that job with all of this talk of collusion and everything else? >> i can just tell you this. when the american people chose a president with no experience in government or the military, they chose someone who really did not understand the process of government and gave him the top job in america, now we know. he is consumed by his own created problems, by his own tweets, and hes not able to push forward the agenda t...
